TENDER FUNERALS MID NORTH COAST

At Tender Funerals, we believe funerals and funeral care should be meaningful, authentic, and affordable.

Who Are We?

Tender Funerals is a not-for-profit funeral service that ensures that those experiencing financial hardship/distress are able to access personalised, meaningful and affordable funerals. We also provide community education and empowerment around after death care.

We provide a full range of services across after death care, funeral/celebration arrangements and body disposal options – many based on sustainable principles – which enable you to have a much greater say in how your loved one is cared for after death. We encourage practices that promote healing.

A community venture, we operate in ways that do not leave community members with large debt. We don’t take shortcuts and always put people and relationships first.

Where Are We Up To?

 How Can I Support Tender?

Tender Funerals would greatly appreciate any kind of support,  financial or otherwise. 
Tender Funerals Mid North Coast has been operating from our site in Wauchope for over 12 months now and our service has been embraced strongly by the local communities The demand for our services has exceeded our expectations and projections. We have provided services to more than 100 families in the first year of operations.
Now in our second year, we have settled firmly into our operations and are able to focus more strongly on the development of a more extensive after-care program. We are proposing a range of community-led initiatives, which would provide our community with ongoing support after the death of a person and provide a range of opportunities for community connection and an annual Community Remembrance event. A Tender Community Care program is currently setting up a community choir, garden group, mindfulness group, craft group and grief packs  with information for families using Tender. The activities will support members in our community not only by connecting with each other but also by contributing to our organisation and our community and therefore supporting others experiencing loss.

        • Financial donations
